Poetry Imagery Planning Year 6 English Literature Imagery and Personification
Great planning for year 6.
Two weeks worth.
Nice powerpoints.
Sample :
Introduce the new unit and writing outcome.
Read the poem ‘Fog’ by Carl Sandberg together. Write ‘personification’ on the board and discuss what this means.
TTYP – what might it mean?
Agree on a definition for the working wall: Giving human traits to non-human or abstract things. Or making a non-human thing do things that only a human can do. Explain the phrase ‘inanimate object’.
Give out copies of ‘Two Sunflowers Move in a Yellow Room’ by William Blake. Discuss how the sunflowers are given human characteristics – they talk, they feel tired, they want a room with a view!
Return to the poem Fog. In this, it is almost as if Fog is alive – either human or possibly feline (cat-like).
Look again at ‘Two Sunflowers Move in a Yellow Room. ’Underline the words ‘topaz tortoises’.
Ask children what these last lines mean?
Discuss whether it matters if we are not sure of the exact meaning of all the words in a poem. Why might it not matter? Because it is the sound and the rhythm of the words which is as important as their meaning in a poem.
Look up topaz to find its meaning. Does this help us understand what the last two lines mean?

Great Year 5 English Literacy Christmas Planning Alternative Christmas
This is some great planning for Christmas for Year 5 Literacy.
I found the kids loved it.
Advantages for you: kids are interested, it’s non religious so can be shown to everyone, you can watch the lovely short movie umpteen times so takes the strain off you.
It’s based on a great little movie, voiced by the late great John Hurt.
It will fill up the last two to three weeks nicely.
Plus there’s non literacy planning for free.
Some example planning :
To analyse and create a character and setting description for 23 Degrees 5 Minutes North.
I can express verbally what a character may be feeling, thinking or doing
I can explain why I think a character may feel, think or do something
I can describe a setting using figurative language
Starter 5 mins
Pen portrait of key characters in 23 Degrees 5 Minutes North: Children mind map/annotate information about the key characters that they know so far around an image of The Adventurer and Professor Erit. They add information about the internal feelings, thoughts and emotions within and the external information such as physical description, or known facts
Activity 1 5-10 mins
Use key questions and discussion in groups to think about answers to questions such as: Why am I here? Will I be able to find Professor Erit? Emphasise the importance of chn giving evidence to support their opinion when they give a response to these questions.
Activity 10 mins
Return to image of the Adventurer and Professor Erit. Using a different coloured pencil, chn should add information about these characters
Main 20 mins
Give chn an image of the setting and ask them to mind-map descriptive words, phrases or sentences they could use to describe the narrative setting.
Model using the different kinds of sentence-types to record a setting description, using the vocabulary recorder in the mind-map. Chn use sentences to build suspense if they can.
Plenary 5 – 10 mins
Chn share their comments about the Adventurer and Professor Erit with the class.
Chn to explain what they have now learnt about each character - using their skills of inference. Share best sentences to describe setting.
Take a moment to add any extra information after the class discussion to their own work, using another coloured pencil.

Persuasive Writing Lots of Planning Powerpoints Worksheets English
Happily retired, decided to put together my Persuasive writing planning from my various schools.
there’s a mass of stuff!
Save yourself a shedload of time and enjoy your Sundays!
Plenty of great powerpoints.
From different years but concentrating on years 3 to 6.
example planning :
Main teaching:
Explain that we are now looking at another text under the umbrella of persuasive texts.
Explain that we may sometimes need to write a letter to a person or organisation in order to put across our point of view and persuade them to take a course of action or come around to our point of view.
Revise what we need to include in a persuasive argument, explain that it is exactly the same in a letter but in a slightly different layout.
Read the example of a persuasive letter from page 17 of the L4 study guide.
Deconstruct and discuss. Elicit that the opening of the letter needs to be powerful and state the objective of the letter. Talk about the conclusion of the letter and how it also needs to be powerful.
Ensure that children understand the structure of a letter (addresses etc).
Activity 1
Bring children back together and draw up a list of good opening lines ‘I am writing to express my disgust’ etc.
Explain that, tomorrow, children will be writing their own persuasive letter.
Show them the title ‘TV adverts should be banned for junk foods’
Briefly discuss what is a ‘junk food’ and brainstorm reasons for not advertising them on TV.
Encourages obesity which leads to illnesses such as heart disease and diabetes.
Illnesses cost money (treatment on NHS) and days off work.
Junk food produces a lot of litter.
The packaging cannot be recycled.
If children have a bad diet their performance at school is affected. This adversely affects their education and future prospects.

Year 6 Grammar Resources plus Reading and Homework Ideas
Gathered together a lot of my teaching material.
Packed full of stuff that you can use for Spag, Grammar, homework =, reading session etc.
Everthing is in the zip. I have put a few examples in the general upload.
Sample ideas :
• Pick a descriptive word from the text, write it down and, using a thesaurus, write down five synonyms and antonyms for that word.
• Re-read a chapter – pick out X number of words that you feel are powerful words and that you could use in your own writing
• How does the story hook you in at the beginning? Make a list of words and phrases that you feel are effective in making you want to read on.
• Draw and label a character or a setting from a description in the book.
• Choose a descriptive passage and make a list of examples of vivid imagery – similes, metaphors, alliteration, noun phrases etc.
• Choose a key moment in the book and change the event. Re-write the following chapter…
• Rewrite a chapter as a playscript.
• Think of 5 questions you would like to ask one of the characters. Swap these with someone else in your group and write the answers as if you were that character.
• List the words and phrases used to create an atmosphere, such as ‘scary’ or ‘spookiness’ ‘tension’ ‘relaxed’
• Write about what a character might be thinking or feeling at different stages of the story. You could write it in the first person, or in a speech bubble.
• Predict what might happen when you are about halfway through a book. Write your prediction in the form of a story plan in boxes

Year 6 Literacy Plans Autumn Spring Summer Sats Revision Weeks Road Dahl
Planning for the year.
Literacy Year 6
I particularly like the 4 week sats revision block.
Zip file contains loads.
sample planning ;
Full range of punctuation used accurately to demarcate sentences, including speech punctuation
• Syntax and punctuation within the sentence generally accurate including commas to mark clauses.
To revise and produce a piece of journalistic writing.
Revise formal & persuasive writing.
Whole Class Shared Learning
Explain that the next four weeks are important revision sessions.
Define the word ‘revision’ and display on the working wall.
In their new groups, children to define the following words, definitions on post it notes:
Journalist
Communication
Bias
Balanced
Come back together and discuss, agree definitions.
Would we find journalistic writing anywhere else other than in a newspaper report? Recap that we may find it in magazines or journals as well as scripts for radio and TV news broadcasts.
How does journalistic writing differ from ‘personal’ writing?
Formal tone, 3rd person, balanced, in journalistic writing a person puts the main points in the first sentence of the first paragraph – what will grab a person’s attention. This is followed by the rest of the details and written so that the article can easily be edited from the bottom up, if the article needs shortening. Sources are mentioned within the text and sentences and paragraphs can be short.
Read the ‘Total Eclipse’ article from Essential Non-fiction and discuss.
Draw out the 5 Ws.
Now read ‘Packaging: The Big Cover Up’ also from Essential non-fiction.
Activity One
Come back together and discuss activity. What did the children find about the two articles? What are the similarities? Differences?
How have the writers used language to report/persuade?
